@Duluth Tupaea also covers 13
And Jordan provides the fullback cover if JB moves into the midfield.

True and better than LF
Still I would prefer cover on the bench for the midfield rather than move starters.

pretty happy with that within what Fozzie was ever likely to actually do

Does Akira Ioane still have a sore foot ?
Yep, Akira and Clarke mentioned with issues still. And the Covid 3 were not pushed to play, it maybe Havili and Goodhue still not a hundy, Cane mentioned they don’t want to risk long covid by hitting the exercise too early
-
well look, a pleasant surprise, how nice.
My only minor quibble is the lineout could be a little shakey, so we'll need to be quick and smart. But other than that, alright

Ok that explains the lack of midfielders on the bench. Those two still not ready and Ennor played his way out of the 23

I hope RTS is getting lots of experience carrying the water bottles around.

I'm not expecting to see RTS until an Argentina test.
When the squad was named Foster explained they wanted him around the squad but they want him to add a kicking option to his game
The coaches doing some coaching. That seems to make sense for now

I just hope he gets plenty of minutes for Auckland in the NPC as he needs to be playing just as much as training IMO.
